So despite putting most of my "free time" (ha ha!! as if we moms of babies and young kids have any REAL free time-which is why I stay up WAY too late every night) into my business, I have been tossing an idea around in my head for a long time for a series o(n this blog) that I am pretty excited about. I haven't seen anything like it yet (doesn't mean it's not out there, just that I haven't seen it - nothing new under the sun right?) I am hoping to get it up pretty soon!! I am so excited! so stay tuned!!
Besides that our week has mostly consisted of keeping Gideon happy, or that is how it seems to me. (It's just a stage, it's just a stage!) The weather is starting to warm up so we've been getting out more which is great!!
My family tapped trees to make maple syrup this year which was AWESOME!! We've talked about doing it for ages but finally did this year. Now I admit, I was really only
And here is one of the sap! :)
I'm excited that spring is finally on it's way so we can get out more, do more nature studies and all the wonderful things that come with spring, summer, and fall.
So bear with me if I am bad about keeping up, and stay tuned for the series, I think all you homeschool moms will really enjoy it, or I hope so!! :)
We just read about tapping for maple syrup in Little House in the Big Woods. I had never thought about it before, but it sounds like a great activity! Now if only I had a maple tree...... =)
ReplyDeleteIt was so cool! It's amazing on the days that it is really flowing how much sap you actually get! I think it was Wednesday that it was cold at night then very sunny, we had to empty the buckets every 15 minutes!
ReplyDeleteWe ended up getting 5 quarts of syrup (it is like 40 to 1 so it really boils down a lot)
